Mucky Pond Water
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.5 / 5
The Mucky Pond Water is a richly colored cocktail that combines the sweetness and caffeine kick of cola with the cool, aniseed hint of Aftershock (Blue), a popular cinnamon-flavored liqueur. The addition of WKD Blue, a vibrant blue, fruit-flavored alcoholic beverage, contributes to the cocktail's distinctive look and adds to the fruity notes. Complemented by a shot of smooth Cognac, this cocktail offers a complex flavor profile with a balance of fruitiness, spice, and the deep, woody undertones of aged spirits. Served in a pint glass, this drink presents an unconventional mix of ingredients, delivering a unique tasting experience that stands out for its bold character and colorful appearance.
